Why? You write "no notary contract" - that can only exist when you want to buy the property. A preliminary contract is common, but in what way is it binding?
By signing at the notary?
In the fine print, you will find all sorts of exclusions explaining why the house cannot be handed over on 31.12.15 after all.
Just do the math yourself; it shouldn’t be too hard even as a layman :rolleyes: It’s March ... the notary appointment still has to be scheduled and is available for review for 14 days ... only then (and if all buyers of this parcel have signed) will the demolition be initiated; of course, all demolition contractors are waiting for this one order ... assuming in good faith that the building permit will be granted in the simplified approval process and everything, really everything runs smoothly, the building permit will be available at the earliest in June 15; the demolition is completed. Then the soil report must be prepared, the structural analysis commissioned, and the working plans created; this also takes 4 weeks if it goes quickly and we are in July. But that doesn’t mean the construction company can start immediately; it needs some preparation too; let’s say it’s fast, we are in August.
Now tell me—which house can be built and ready to move into within 4 months? Not taking company holidays into account in the remaining 4 months ….
